An Opportunity Lost

Before Ben Carson fades away from the general public, I have one last thought. Carson was born into poverty, raised by a single mom, experienced racism and was a troubled youth for a time. Sadly, not unusual for many black youth struggling to grow and thrive in today's society. But what is extraordinary about Carson is never once, NEVER ONCE,……. did I hear him use his past as an excuse for ANYTHING in his life. Instead, he spoke of the value of things like unity, integrity, perseverance, education and love for your fellow man. He was devoted to God and a lover of his country; a true American.
 Ben Carson is a good man; in fact he's one of the best. Probably too good for politics. I honestly feel history will look back with the poignant realization that a world changing opportunity was  missed in not better supporting this man. I do hope we hear form this great American again.
